Volunteering with us offers the opportunity to build valuable skills while making a meaningful difference. Volunteers gain experience in communication, advocacy, teamwork, safeguarding and trauma-informed practice, alongside training and ongoing support. 

Many also gain confidence, a sense of purpose, improved wellbeing and clearer pathways into employment, education or further volunteering, while being part of a supportive, values-led community.

You will work alongside other volunteers, the communities we serve, and our partner organisations. You will also be supported by REEL’s leadership team and have opportunities to connect with our wider business and professional network.

Volunteering with us, offers the chance to learn from people with lived experience and a wide range of professional backgrounds.
You will be part of a collaborative, inclusive environment where relationships, trust and shared learning are central to everything we do.

When you join, we will work with you to match your skills, experience and interests to the needs of the organisation. This helps ensure your role is meaningful, well supported, and allows you to develop new skills while making a positive contribution. For example, you may support REEL Rack by sorting and packing emergency clothing packs, help design and deliver events, contribute to funding bids, or support team development and community activities.

The time you volunteer is flexible and shaped around you. Some volunteers give a couple of hours a month, while others contribute several hours each week. We agree this together, taking into account your availability, wellbeing and the needs of the organisation, and review it regularly. We simply ask that you let us know if your availability changes, so we can plan and deliver our services effectively.
